Tidbits.

So the twins were born on June 12, 2007. 5 years and 1 day ( well 5 minutes) after Sho-sho. We went to see them the Saturday after the kids were all done with school. Everyone but D and Hubby. D wanted to stay home so Hubby would not be alone on Father's day. My dad was going to Seattle too, so that was convenient for me on dad's day. I felt bad about leaving on father's day, but regardless, that was the best time for use to go.

The twins are adorable. There is only a pound difference between Ben and Ella, but you can tell the difference when you are holding them. My sister's hubby was worried about every detail when it came to the babies. But can you blame them after everything they went through to get them? They keep a journal about when the babies ate and when they were changed and so on. I never kept a journal, but maybe it is a must when you have twins to make sure that one baby is not feed more than the other? This made me feel like such a lazy parent compared to when my kids were born.

I took some pictures of the twins, but had such crappy batteries that I did not get any good ones. I got to take about 6 pictures, then the batteries died. (Note: Never buy the dollar batteries at Target.) You can see really cute ones on my sister's blog. One of my favorites is the karate chop one, where Ben looks like he is Karate chopping his sister in his sleep.

Since we have been back I have been on a cleaning frenzy. Well I wanted to reorganize my room when I got back anyway, b/c I had this large 36" TV in there that just was too big for my room and we sent it over to my sister and now I have a large 42" plasma TV in my room. Yeah I know it is bigger, screen wise, but it actually takes up lesser space than the other TV did. My room is very fung shui now and so much more manageable. Also I went through my closet and gave away 3 large garbage bags of clothes. I still have a lot more that I should part with, but am still hoping that I can fit into those size 8's again. Dream on right? But a funny thing it that while cleaning out my closet, I found a x-mas present for Sho-sho. She was so happy to have it, and it being right after her birthday, it didn't bother her that it was suppose to been given to her 6 months prior. It was a Barbie and the 12 dancing princess dance mat and instructional video. So sneezer and sho-sho went over to the neighbor girls' house and they all learned to dance like ballerinas. Unfortunately the joy from this toy was very short lived. She still twirls around everywhere, but just not on the mat.

This last Weds. we all went to the MAC to see SUE. The most complete skeleton of a T-Rex. This was not as exciting as the kids thought it would have been. But they did have a lot of activities for the kids to do. There was a cast molding of the dinosaurs head to show you just how puny you are compared to this thing. Also there were these panoramic views of how dinosaurs saw things. the T-Rex saw things just like we do, but the triceratops saw on the sides of their heads and their heads were sooo huge that you had to look through the eye holes one at a time.

After the MAC we took a walk downtown a picked up a PSP game that was being held for us. On the way back to the car we ran into Fran. This is a girl that use to work for my hubby and now works elsewhere, but has become like a family friend b/c she has a son the same age as CJ. I used to think that she had a thing for my hubby and that was why she hung around so much, but recently found out that she is a bisexual and apparently those hair flinging and nervous talking was b/c of me. He pointed this out to me a few weeks prior and on this day I noticed for the first time that she was always looking at me when she talks to us and not my hubby. HMMM?

Well I need to get some food in my tummy. I will write more later.
